Now I haven't bought any magic tricks I'd say since September. After seeing this weeks episode of "Exposé" I decided to get touch, and man was I pleased. For only $7 it gave me one of my strongest effects I know. I always have a few bracelets on me, so walking around with rubber-bands on my wrist was nothing unusual. it is EXTREMELY visual and can be done impromptu for those "Hey, you're a magician, show me a trick" scenarios we always get.

The setup takes a couple of minutes to get down, but after watching the nine-minute video a few times, I can set this up in literally less then 3 seconds, and you can do it on an off-beat.

Overall I love this trick, and I recommend it HIGHLY!

I may have over hyped it, but it gets great reactions (just look it up). And about trading tricks, I will think about it.

I am definitely interested, in your offer.

I'm wondering, is this COMPLETELY impromptu with no gimmicks or setup?

Joshua Robinson · « **Reply #5 on:** November 21, 2011, 06:17:51 PM »

it does have a set-up, you can use a borrowed deck and there is a small gimmick that once you fully learn you could create it in a couple of seconds flat,

EDIT: does touch have a gimmick/ setup?

No gimmick, completely impromptu. There is a setup that once you learn, you could do on an off beat in like 3 seconds.

How long does it take to make the gimmick?

Joshua Robinson · « **Reply #9 on:** November 21, 2011, 06:26:32 PM »

if you do it fast, about 3-5 seconds, trying to make it perfect, about 10 seconds, but pretty easy to make it fast

Is that how long it takes to make the gimmick, or just set it up?

make the gimmick and set up

For Touch, it's one of probably the best rubberband trick one can have. There are no gimmicks involved, and I don't believe there is a set up... not a before hand setup anyway. Also, when I have tried to perform this trick, sometimes it does not work and other times it does.

As for Fourfit, it's almost impromptu except for a small gimmick that you have to create. True it only about a minute to make, but to perfect it, it will take longer. As for the trick itself, it's very amazing to the spectator, BUT NOTE THIS, the trick is VERY angle sensitive, and Reuben does mention this on the DVD as well. You can really only perform this at eye level, and the angle has to be just right in order for the restoration not to be seen. The only really angle sensitive restoration is when you restore the first two pieces. If you can get the first one down, the rest will be very easy.

As for that, you guys can still go on with your business deal, I thought I just needed to chime in

can this be done with any rubber band or should it be looser or tighter on the wrist or hand?

also please remember that the forum has PM's

Haha thanks, I have been PM'ing him now.

I find it best when the rubber bands are really tight. Also it can be done with any rubber band ad long as it isn't too small. I have done this with both hairbands and Sillybandz fine. Hair bands though are harder in my opinion though.

i mostly do cardistry, but know a few simple tricks with cards. i was looking at purchasing this because it seems like it is simple to do but is SO visual. what are some of the problems you have encountered learning it? (without giving away method of course)

KPopFever605 · « **Reply #16 on:** November 22, 2011, 01:42:22 AM »

Yah, the best rubber bands are the ones that are a little loose but not over the top. As far a problems go, I don't think I have encountered any, and it is really worth how much you pay for it.

Also, if any of you two want me to answer any questions, just message me as my answers may be less bias.

Not at all. The whole download is in a different language, and In the tutorial, Hanson doesn't speak at all and all you have to do is watch his moves. I find it easy to do, but kinda difficult to perfect to the point of Hanson. It took me about an hour to be able to feel confident to perform for friends and family, although I still have some difficulty sometimes.

It's not hard to do at all - just as loldudex said, about an hour and you should be doing it with ease!

Evan · « **Reply #20 on:** November 23, 2011, 02:49:07 PM »

I am trying to learn it but having a lot of trouble! Its not easy for me I guess
